Pentecost Sunday
Submitted by Cliff on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 16:06.This Sunday, May 11th is the feast of Pentecost. It is the celebration of the Spirit descending upon the disciples of Jesus.
The Hebrew word for wind and spirit is the same word, ruah (roo-ah).
Wind is something we cannot see, but we can see the effects of the wind. The wind can be refreshing, gentle and soothing. The wind can also be fierce, formative and life-altering (hurricanes and tornadoes).
